​Join Us For The Brachycephalic Syndrome Panel Discussion

Date: Tuesday 26 September

Time: 17:40-18:40

Location: Bella Centre

Hosted jointly by WSAVA-FECAVA- DSAVA. Discussions during the session will
explore the role of the veterinarian in raising awareness of this issue and
offer practical guidance and support that delegates can take back to their
clinic.

Objective: to encourage our members to work collaboratively with owners and breeders to
understand the welfare issues involved and to start to reduce some of the more
excessive hereditary traits in dogs and other species.

Panel participants will include: Professor Åke Hedhammar, member of the WSAVA
Hereditary Disease Committee; Gudrun Ravetz, President of the BVA and Peter
Sandøe, Professor of Ethics and Welfare. The discussion will be chaired
by Monique Megens, Senior Vice President of FECAVA
